LEGO is derived from the two Danish words leg godt, which mean “play well” in English. The name embodies what the company founder, Ole Kirk Christiansen, envisioned when he founded LEGO in 1932 in Billund, Denmark, as a company that made wooden toys and other household goods. The first LEGO bricks were created in the 1940s and patented in the 1950s. The plural of LEGO is LEGO.
